Hurney And Company Open-Minded Regarding Draft


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Well, some of you guys are always whining about Joe Person's timeliness, here is an article about Hurney's thinking when it comes to filling needs of the team. The last paragraph basically sums it up:

“I think we’re going into the draft like we did free agency. We didn’t go in with any agendas. We just sort of monitored the free-agent market and came up with what we thought were good football players that could help improve our team. I think that’s the same approach we’ll take in the draft.”

Other tidbits (that many of us already knew):

1. Shockey probably will NOT be here according to his infamous agent.

2. The Panthers are concentrating on value due to cap space

3. They are most likely to trade down than up

4. Free agency has been focused on versatile players who have been special teams stand-outs.

By default, our FO has become smart again.

(Translation: We are willing to trade down, people).

Concerning possible trading partners: Watch Philly. With Peters going down and expectations high in Philly, they could deal for Reiff. Carolina (#9) is about where they would target a trade up.

Philly has 2 second rounders, probably would offer #51 as part of a deal.

I would like that.

Ey man, that's good info. Thanks. I wouldn't have read any more of that "signed players" and would have never came across this. Screw thread police

Hey, man. Give a brotha some slack! I had been up all night. There is a slightly different focus and take between this thread and the other. But, you got me.

I had seen the info about the injury, but just couldn't see how it could relate to the Panthers. Thanks for making the connection (which really could be a good thing).

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
